Rapid Application Development


	Rapid Application Development
	Advantages End user is invloved in all stages and the system is implemented within six months. This ensures that the system meets the user requirements End user is involved in evaluations so this ensures that the final system meets their user defined requirements The requirements do not have to be defined by the end user at the beginning of the process	Disadvantages The solution developed using RAD on surface may meet the requirements but it based on functionality it doesn't. For example the system may work when tested on a small amount of computers but when used by many many end users the system may not function concurrently The project manger who is over seeing the development of the system will need to keep a very tight control over the development process and the team Timescale must be adhered to otherrwise the solution will not be developed within the 6 month deadline
